Gothic Serpent Memorial Bracelets and Dog Tags

Operation Gothic Serpent was a military operation in Somalia, African conducted from August to October 1993 by U.S. special operations forces. The primary mission of the operation was to capture warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

On October 3, 1993, a task force was sent on a mission to arrest two of Aidid's lieutenants. During the mission, the two Somali militia leaders were arrested, however the convoy was quickly surrounded by Somali fighters and civilians and an exchange of fire started. During the battle, two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down.

The mission is now known as the Battle of Mogadishu, or The Battle of the Black Sea, and the battle was depicted in the movie Black Hawk Down. Eighteen U.S. soldiers were killed in the battle and Delta Force Snipers SFC Randall Shughart and MSG Gary Gordon were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for their efforts to secure the helicopter crash site.
